No one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included. All businesses should register, as well as all individuals who have unlisted phone numbers, who have changed their phone number or address within the last year, and who use a cellular phone as their primary home phone.

The "CodeRED system is a geographical based notification system, which means street addresses are needed to select which phone numbers will receive emergency notification calls in any given situation. The system works fine for cell phones too, but we have to have a street address". People who have recently moved but kept the same listed or unlisted phone number also need to change their address in the database.

You may opt-in to receive emergency and community notifications by visiting the CodeRED enrollment. If you have any questions or problems entering your information into the CodeRED enrollment page, please email Mike Cook to provide assistance.

If you move away and/or would like your name and number removed for our CodeRED data please visit CodeRED Deactivation or you may call 970-878-9600 or email mike.cook@rbc.us.

Please make sure to add the above telephone numbers to your phone’s contacts. If you would like to hear the last message delivered to your phone, simply dial the number back.

CodeRED Mobile Alert App
